#22For anybody who wants to take a look at the types of exercises they have: all the exercises are on github [1]

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
At least their code is on github and you can inspect..
Yeah. But reviewing 1900 lines of code before I've even seen a single one of their exercises? That doesn't sound like fun. I would be far more willing to run their app if I could try the actual service first.
So if the code was published as a 1900 line ruby gem, you'd be OK with it? Or would you review the 1900 line ruby gem?

#24Extremely confusing website, are the exercises somewhere on the website or do I need to download an application or are the exercises on Github or what? The screenshots make it look like CodeAcademy with messages/comments, but I can't find the exercises anywhere.
If you're just interested in the exercises without all the code review shenanigans that the site + CLI tool offer, they're all available on https://github.com/exercism (all the ones named `x$language`).

#25I practically learned Swift by doing the first available exercises. (12 or so) when I ran out of exercises I started to implement new ones by taking the test cases from the ruby track (most similar to Apple's XCTest). Check out the available tracks http://synopsis.exercism.io/ Next I am exited about practicing Rust!

#26You know, at first I found this was really good, but after trying it for a little I just completely forgot about it. Is it as good as everyone says? From the comments so far it makes me want to try it out again.

I really enjoyed it. It was pretty fun to see everyone else's submissions and read their comments.
I also like the command-line interface. No GUI or web garbage to muck with to fetch or submit exercises.

One of the issues is that it was originally designed as a mentoring platform, so you would be led through it by a friend that knows the process. The help link is very good for some languages, but could use some love for other languages.
